About Me

I am complete foodie and love to indulge into variety of food items. I love trying out and learning different type of cuisines.
Whenever I get some time on hand, I just get into the kitchen and start experimenting.
I am CA and CS by profession but my real interest is in cooking. I sometimes feel like switching careers (I think I will end up doing that.. :) )
I regularly research about recipes on the Net and newspapers. I also watch lot of cookery shows for inspiration.
But I just trust my natural instincts when it comes to cooking.

Welcome to the World of Traditional Maharashtrian Cuisine

India is a country with diverse traditions, culture and religions. This diversity is also found in our food. Each state has its unique and special food items. Going forward, our food choices are not just restricted to India. We have gone global when it comes to food as well!

Today, we start our day South Indian breakfast, say Idli Sambar or Upma, we then go on North Indian lunch consisting of Chole Bature, Paneer, Rajma, Pulao. We prefer Italian Pizza, Garlic bread or Pasta for evening snacks. However, while returning home, we still have the urge of eating our traditional home made food for dinner.

This blog features a collection of traditional Maharashtrian recipes. However this does not mean that I dont like non-maharashtrian cuisine. You will also find some new and innovative experimental recipes in this blog.

People feel that traditional recipes are difficult to cook. But trust me, the traditional recipes are not just simple to cook but have their own charm. Being a hardcore vegetarian, you will find only vegetarian recipes on this blog.
